Agia Marina Tower (Kea)

37° 37.0′ N · 24° 18.2′ E

A 4th-century BC five-storey tower of local schist and marble, about 20 m high. It later became part of a monastery and partly collapsed in an 1858 earthquake.

Practical

It lies on Kea Trail 12 (Poiiessa) between Ioulida and Pisses, an easy add-on walk from a Pisses anchorage (about 3 km uphill). It is under restoration and fully open to visitors only once the work is complete. The position is from OpenStreetMap.
